November
17th, 2014. Cotton fields are fairly common in southeastern Walton County,
Georgia.
Some
cotton fields are very large.
The
cotton has to be protected from the boll weevil*. The green container holds an
artificial pheromone that attracts the weevils and an insecticide strip that
kills the weevils.
The
cotton is ready for harvesting again. Crops have been good over the last few
years. The cotton is harvested by huge harvesters (see here and here).
A
field that has been harvested. There is still quite a bit of cotton left in the
field. Sometimes, the cotton is taken to the gin in Bostwick when it is
harvested.
At
other times, the cotton is stored near the field where it is covered to protect
it from being soaked if it rains.
